Photo Update / Family Gatherings

Here are a few (long overdue) photos from the past week.

Idris and her doctor - who made a house call on Idris' birthday. Awesome!



Gregory brought his family up to visit - and what a sweet visit we all had! They are on the road home and we will miss them.

Glow Sticks

I like glow sticks!
We got some out to help the kids have a little fun on their way home.
We enjoyed our visit and can hardly wait for the next time!!!!!

I'll try to get photos up soon!

Lights / Lighting

I really love lights, and I really miss the Christmas lights.
I love the little bit of light that is left in the room as I walk back to bed. I love the little bit of light that is in the family room as I came out in the morning.
I have always liked having a night light on, and have several "runway lights" down the hallway. But those lights don't light up the room, and really don't work too well at all anymore, so I'll probably get right up and remove them.
I miss the tree lights enough this year that I decided to leave a light on somewhere to make up for the light I had taken down. I choose to put a 25 watt bulb in a lamp and I'm loving that look.


(My decor isn't done yet, but the light is on anyway.)

A New Vacuum

I got a new vacuum a last week and was finally able to use it the other day. It was so awesome! It cleaned! The carpet looks so much better after using this new vacuum. It was long overdue!
It makes me happy!

SNOW!

I know - we don't have snow, but I have missed it this year, and feel quite grateful for the snow we've had other years.
There is something beautiful about the snow and I love it!
It's kinda too late to enjoy it this winter season, but I'll be looking forward to another winter with some beautiful white snow.

My Testimony

I am so grateful for my testimony!

I love my Savior!
I love my Heavenly Father!
I love that I can feel Their love for me!
I love that They have done and continue to do so much for me and for each one of us!
I love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!
I love the fact that living the gospel of Jesus Christ brings blessings into our lives daily...I love those blessings...It is so worth it!
I love the scriptures!
I love the peace that comes from living the gospel and reading the scriptures and being obedient!
I love that we have a living prophet to lead, guide, and direct us today - President Thomas S. Monson! I love the prophets past and those of old - we learn so much from!
I love the blessings of the Holy Temples - that families can be together forever!
I love that my testimony continues to grow, and that it can always continue to grow!
...

I hope to be found doing things that will be pleasing to our Father and that will bless my life, my family, my friends, and all I come in contact with. I want to be and do better each day!
